Harry Kane celebrates Ballon d'Or win with London nightclub party

express.co.uk — October 29, 2026 at 01:01 PM UTC

Harry Kane celebrated winning the 2026 Ballon d'Or with a lavish party at Cirque Le Soir, a London nightclub, after becoming the first English player since Michael Owen to claim the award. The Bayern Munich striker arrived with the trophy, joined by wife Kate, brother Charlie, and teammates Eric Dier, Ben Davies, and Matt Doherty, with champagne sparklers and shots on arrival. Former manager Tim Sherwood also attended, and Kane wore a Rolex estimated at £1 million. Kane won the award after a standout 2025/26 season, scoring for Bayern's league and cup double and helping England to a World Cup third-place finish. In his speech, he thanked voters, teammates, and coach Vincent Kompany, who was absent due to a hospital stay.
